NOTE: ACTION MAY BE TAKEN
1. 2017 PRELIMINARY LEVY: RESOLUTION 16-15
a. Resolution 16-15 is attached for council approval. The resolution will establish a preliminary levy of $1,027,143, which is a 1.9% percent increase from the 2016 levy.
2. SET TRUTH IN TAXATION DATE & TIME
a. The council is required to set a truth in taxation meeting date between Nov. 25th and Dec. 28th where the final levy and budget will be discussed. Staff propose setting the Dec. 5th council meeting as the truth in taxation meeting.
3. CITY TRUCK
a. PeopleService has approached the City about purchasing the public works truck. They have made an offer of $12,900 for the truck and all accessories, including a plow and salt spreader. The truck is a 2008 model with 59,000 miles. Staff consulted with numerous value calculators to determine the estimated value considering mileage, condition, and accessories. Based on staff’s findings, $12,900 is a fair offer within the appropriate range.
4. PLANNING COMMISSION SIGN PROCESS RECOMMENDATION
